Confirmed from Paris Landing State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
841-acre park on a former steamboat landing with 2 fishing piers, a golf course & swimming pool.
What runners say about Paris Landing State Park
“It could have used a deep clean over all but the beds were clean and comfortable and so was the kitchen.”
“The view of the moon over the lake at night and the stunning sunsets make it truly serene and beautiful.”

We had a great time at Paris landing. We rented a three bedroom cabin and it was perfect for our two families. Easy hiking trails, fun beach area, playground, and there’s basketball and tennis courts! Don’t miss out on this gem. Plenty to see and do for a fun long weekend.
Had the opportunity to visit Paris Landing State Park last weekend and take part in their overnight kayak and hiking tour. Rangers Christa and Regina are great and absolutely love what they do. Beautiful lake and camping life.
I stayed in RV spot #2 for 3 nights towards the end of October. It was very quiet and not very busy. Site was almost level. I might not choose this site in the summer due to lack of shade and being next to the volleyball net etc. It was a short walk to the marina and to the trails.
Trail conditions & character
“The pool has an amazing view but is on the smaller side… of course you are on a large lake so there is no shortage of water.”
“The view of the moon over the lake at night and the stunning sunsets make it truly serene and beautiful.”
“The campground is fantastic all around,and easily has the nicest restrooms of any state park in Tennessee.”
